On Saturday in the English "Premier League there was a battle for the leader position. London's "Arsenal" tried to surprise the "Liverpool" team away, but the "gunners" could not match the "Liverpool" team that secured the leader position.
Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the performance of his players, stating that the team followed their plan for almost 80 minutes.
"It was a performance full of energy, intensity, and dedication. This is necessary when playing against a team like "Arsenal," - Klopp said at the press conference.
"I saw that in the last ten minutes ball possession was 53% to 47% or something similar. However, for about 80 minutes, you could see a completely different picture. We completely controlled the match.
We are not in Disneyland, so we do not have to entertain the spectators every second. It was a great match for us," - continued the strategist.
Unai Emery, on the other hand, did not lose his head too much and stated that there were positive aspects in the match.
"We had some really great transitions from defense to attack, during which we created chances. Unfortunately, we did not use them, and in the second half, a questionable penalty against us was the end," - mentioned U. Emery about the episode when David Luiz slightly pulled Mohamed Salah inside the box.
"After conceding the second goal, we showed a proper reaction. We needed to attack and try new things on the field. We are disappointed with the loss, but we were really satisfied with the performance of some players.
We need to improve ball control and ensure that we can cope with the pressure that the best team doing it, the "Liverpool" team, gives us. We have to remain realistic, but we know that we can compete with them," - concluded the specialist from Spain.
